Lil Maniac's manga / #ikemen(1)

I FRECKIN GIVE THIS 1 MILLION STARS This was so awesome omg it’s now the top of my list. Both mcs were amazing. This story was very realistic, which added a nice touch to the drama and events taking place. I love the fact that the relationship progressed so naturally, from being just a bit distant to being so close, making each other a better person, growing closer even through conflicts, just overall being so dedicated to each other. I truly love how their relationship was portrayed. Unlike almost every yaoi ever, neither the uke nor seme was forced into anything. Everything was consensual. If any problems arose, they went through it together. They solved misunderstandings with conversation. They were possessive of each other, but also wished the best for each other. Truly an ideal relationship. I didn’t like that the uke moved out right as the seme finally confessed his feelings tho. That was very selfish of him, without even thinking how the seme would feel. He redeemed himself after that tho, which I liked, and stayed by the seme’s side, supporting him. He’d do anything for the seme, even going as far as tarnishing his own name and dignity, if it was for the happiness of the seme. The same is true for seme-san. Gosh, I like him. To be willing to throw away everything, especially a company that was your dream and that you’ve built with your own hands, just so you could be with your partner. Seme-san, a man committed to his uke, even to the point of being willing to abandon everything for him. Get you a man like that. One thing that was realistic, and also something I very much like about this piece, is the fact that the uke struggled so much with his sexuality. Unlike other manga that portrays it as such an easy thing to get over, this one did a fine job portraying uke’s progression through denial to complete acceptance of his sexuality and ability to be with and love a man (I could go on about this but then it’d turn into an essay). Overall, this was a very exemplar story, and I wouldn’t mind, or actually, I’d love it if it could continue. Great job to the author for bringing out such an excellent piece.
